When we have a lot of fields on a table and many views, it becomes labour-intensive to manage.  Often fields are related and we want to manage and display them as an ordered group in multiple views. An example might be the financial aspects of a product, where cost, price, sales volume, revenue, tax, and profit are related.  A mechanism to manage them as a group in views would be a major efficiency win, and also increase consistency as the group is always displayed in the same order and with no field missing. Colour coding of the group would also be valuable for visual identification. Retaining the ability to manage them individually in addition to managing in a group would be very nice. The ability to add a field to multiple groups would be even nicer. Thank you for the great product ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow Fields in Kanban Cards (either for Views or Interfaces) to be multi-line. See how a Trello Card looks like: See how packed the tags are and how much information is contained in 3 lines. Now see the same in Airtable for a Kanban Interface: See how the Tags Field is cut-off, not letting the user to see all the corresponding Tags. This issue applies to other potentially long fields such as Text or Formulas containing a concatenated text string. How does is solve the user problems?

What If we could group similar columns together in a similar way we group rows? Color-coded, collapsible, and individually shareable. It could be quite powerful. Thoughts? ... View more

So let me get this straight… everyone who uses Kanban view and actually sorts their records ends up seeing this same screen as the introduction to their view because AirTable won’t let people hide Uncategorized from view? Whose idea was that? ... View more

The gallery view is a really helpful way to visually explore a set of records by using large photos to represent them. Would greatly appreciate the ability to group items in the Gallery View by a field, similar to how Grouping is supported in Grid view. Right now, if I want to look at a subset of items as a group, I’m forced to make individual sorted gallery views, or look at items lost in a sea of other gallery items. ... View more

It is useful to transpose the Rows and Columns of a Table for for viewing and / or calculations.
